Waffle Dial 28.5mm – Black Metallic
- In stock, ready to ship
Complete Your Build
A silvery white dial with guilloché waffle texture, designed in-house by Nomods. The bright metallic finish reflects light across the full waffle grid, creating a clean, luminous dial face that reads as white in direct light and shifts toward a soft silver in the shade. This is the lightest option in the waffle dial lineup, offering maximum contrast with dark hands and sharp legibility at a glance. At 28.5 mm diameter, this dial fits the Royal Oak 37mm V2 and Petrichor 37mm cases directly. Compatible with NH35 and NH36 automatic movements. Applied markers with C3 Super-LumiNova for reliable low-light reading.

Designed by Nomods
This waffle dial is an original Nomods design. The guilloché waffle texture is precision-stamped into the brass dial blank before the silvery white metallic finish is applied. The result is a dial that appears bright white under direct light but reveals its silver undertone in lower light, with each cell of the waffle grid casting its own micro-shadow. This light-play effect is only possible with a physically stamped texture — flat-printed dials cannot produce it. The white metallic finish is particularly effective in the silver Royal Oak 37mm V2 case, where the dial, bezel, and bracelet share a unified cool-toned palette reminiscent of the original Royal Oak white dial configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions
What cases fit this dial?
The 28.5 mm diameter fits the Royal Oak 37mm V2 and Petrichor 37mm cases. It does not fit the Royal Oak 41mm or Seikonaut cases, which require 30.8 mm dials.
What movements are compatible?
The NH35 and NH36 automatic movements. Both are solid-rotor, non-skeleton movements. This is a solid waffle dial, not a skeleton dial — it fully covers the movement beneath it.
What is the difference between a waffle dial and a skeleton dial?
A waffle dial has a solid face with a stamped guilloché grid pattern. It covers the movement completely and is used with NH35 or NH36 movements. A skeleton dial has open cutouts that expose the movement, designed for skeleton movements like the NH70, NH71, or NH72. The two types are not interchangeable.
Can I use this dial in a Nautilus or Seikonaut case?
No. The Seikonaut (Nautilus-style) case requires a 30.8 mm dial. This dial is 28.5 mm. For Nautilus builds, see our 30.8 mm dial collection.
